Chapter 479: Am I Supreme Wind?

Yun Yang did not want to reveal himself, therefore he left his horse by the side and attempted to pass through the barricade on foot after finding out about the spiritual restraint.

Although his previous attempts had failed, the Four Seasons Tower’s men were astonished at his fighting skill.

In spite of his grimy appearance, Yun Yang had incredible skill, an adeptness that would put even the experts at a clear disadvantage in a fight, if they made a single careless move. It was fortunate however for them, that Yun Yang’s cultivation base was weaker than theirs or else they would not have been able to block him.

Feeling helpless, Yun Yang set his heart on a new goal and quickly retreated dozens of miles away. He decided to take the quickest route back and reinstated his title as the capital city’s Young Master Yun.

Yun Yang, the young marquis of Marquis of Heavenly Clouds, was rushing to the Resilience Fortress to assist the frontline!

However, Yun Yang did not want to expose his true identity until after he crossed the forest. But he wondered what would happen if his Nine Supremes power came back abruptly during a critical moment after crossing the forest.

That would mean that Supreme Cloud had suddenly come to the Fortress of Resilience.

Only a few experts had ever passed by the forest during this current time. Hence, people would easily confirm that it was indeed Young Master Yun Yang who was the Supreme Cloud. This would be akin to revealing his secret to the Four Seasons Tower.

Unfortunately, due to the numerous failures in his previous advances, Yun Yang found himself in a nervous state. He couldn’t have cared any less right now and he postponed considering any consequences till later. Although there was some doubt that he might not even be able to recover his Nine Supremes power immediately after crossing the forest, he had no choice but to cross the area first.

Yun Yang had decided to go for his old look; he wore a purple robe, his hair was tied up with a purple jade ornament. He looked handsome; phoenix-like eyes twinkled below arched eyebrows as strands of hair fluttered in the wind.

A shiny long saber was sheathed at his hip and he was mounted on a crimson steed, charging along his way.

The young master looked like jade figurine riding upon a horse that looked like a dragon!

Reddie galloped along, gaining momentum and crossing a hundred feet with a single gallop. Dozens of miles passed by in the same amount of time it would have taken to snap one’s fingers. In the blink of an eye, man and horse arrived once again at the foot of the mountain.

Yun Yang’s demeanor revealed that he knew about the strong forces which oversaw this place as he entered. He spurred his horse to give it a burst of speed without slowing down. His face reflected an inner sense of urgency that would not allow for any delay.

Suddenly, a metal blade came swinging towards him, cutting through the engulfing fog as if filled with an icy, murderous intent.

Yun Yang’s face had barely any time to register his own shock as the blade swung forward. His fast reflexes took over as he countered the blade with his own long saber while springing up and yelling, “Who is it?”

His voice, accompanied by his unique technique of wielding his Merciless Blade in a counterattack, had instantly revealed his identity to his hidden foe. A surprised gasp rang out, “Yun Yang?”

The shock in the other person’s voice was matched by the stunned expression on Yun Yang’s face as he heard his name being called out. ‘Venerable Lord Frost?” he inquired.

A person appeared from the dense forest ahead, clad in a long robe the color of frost and snow, coupled with a gaze like sweeping arcs of electricity; it was the Four Seasons Tower’s Venerable Lord Frost, one of the remaining Four Venerable Lords!

He looked at Yun Yang, absolutely dumbstruck.

Because he had misjudged the force of his counterattack, Yun Yang lost his balance and dropped to the ground before yelling angrily, “Venerable Lord Frost, why is the Four Seasons Tower such a lingering ghost? Are your words just empty promises?

Venerable Lord Frost replied, equally enraged, “What do you mean we’re lingering ghosts? Who are you to say our words are empty promises? Watch what you say!”

Yun Yang got even angrier.

“If you aren’t lingering ghosts, then why are you all blocking my way? If your words aren’t empty, why attack me with the intention to kill me? The agreement we had is still fresh in my mind and even though you’re the one who attacked first, you have the temerity to complain that I should watch my words?”

Venerable Lord Frost froze, and after a long pause he replied, “How could I have known that it was you?”

“Huh? You didn’t even know it was me? Did you attack even before you saw your target clearly? Who are you kidding?” Yun Yang asked rhetorically.

Before Venerable Lord Frost could reply, Yun Yang continued, “Forget it. I’m a busy person and I have no time to argue with you. Now that you know that it’s me traveling along this path, give way! Or are your promises truly empty?”

“This Venerable Lord cannot let you go past, no, not even for you!” Venerable Lord Frost replied.

Yun Yang was infuriated, “Are you going back on your words now? The Four Venerable Lords are really just a bunch of liars! So tell me, what do you want to do this young master? Your ability exceeds mine; in the end, I’ll have to submit to you anyway.

Venerable Lord Frost looked ashamed of himself as he muttered excuses under his breath, “I didn’t say I wanted to do anything to you, I just can’t let you pass. This isn’t what I can decide and we aren’t intentionally violating the agreement. It’s just how it is!”

Yun Yang scoffed with barely suppressed rage and replied in a low voice, “Venerable Lord Frost, we’ve met once anyhow, haven’t we? It was I who saved Venerable Lord Sword’s life and in return, we had an agreement between us. Yet now you violate the agreement and are blocking my way, you have to at least explain to me what’s going on?”

Venerable Lord Frost answered in an equally chilling voice, ” We’re sealing this path in obedience to an order. Any living person who’s going northeast along this route must be blocked! No exceptions! Trespassers shall die, but because you haven’t, be content that it’s due to the fate we shared that day!”

Yun Yang sighed helplessly, “Alright, alright, you people from the Four Seasons Tower have always been so unreasonable. Sealing the path as you like and saying that you’re giving me face despite blocking my way! But I want to ask you something, does Great Venerable Lord Frost remember the conditions upon which the Four Seasons Tower made your promise to me? Does it still count?”

“Of course I remember and naturally it does. Otherwise, you would be a dead man by now!” replied Venerable Lord Frost loudly.

“Well, I’m glad to know it still counts! I remember one of the conditions being that we would stay out of each other’s business, moreover, that the Four Seasons Tower cannot find fault with me first. Isn’t there a condition like this?” Yun Yang questioned in rage.

Venerable Lord Frost chuckled and replied, “There is, but that last condition does not apply to us, in this case. The Four Seasons Tower are not the ones who found fault with you because it’s you who instigated trouble first!”

Yun Yang responded furiously, “Preposterous! Are you going to spout nonsense endlessly? I’m going to assist the east line and I have a royal decree with me, I can’t afford any delays! Blocking my route here is obviously being done in an attempt to see my nation ruined. Yet you have the audacity to say that I’m taking advantage of you by finding fault? Ridiculous. How can you possibly have a clear conscience while speaking such lies without a single stutter?”

Although Venerable Lord Frost knew that he was in the wrong, he remained resolute, “No matter what you say, I can’t let you pass. It’s already pushing the limit that I have let you live.”

Yun Yang replied like he wanted to vomit blood, “Very well. Though truth be told, I know who you fellows are really waiting for to pass by here and I also know what your real intentions are! But… what does that have to do with me? What use is it stopping me in my journey? I think you’re just intentionally finding fault with me, aren’t you?”

“You know who we’re waiting for?” Venerable Lord Frost snorted in disbelief.

Yun Yang exploded, “Don’t try to deny it! The whole world knows you are waiting here to block Supreme Wind! Why pretend otherwise when the truth is so painfully obvious.”

Venerable Lord Frost scoffed but said nothing more, obviously aware that the issue at hand was too sensitive to be talked about at length. What Yun Yang had accused them of was indeed fact; it was just that they had killed all the people they met earlier and they didn’t have room to think about anything else.

‘Let’s reimagine this situation, say instead of me, it’s someone you don’t know traveling down this path. You stop him, kill him, then that’s his misfortune. But don’t you know who I am? I am Yun Yang, I’m the Marquis of Heavenly Clouds’ young master! Do I look like Supreme Wind to you? I’m neither planning to spoil your plans nor did I ever provoke you fellows, especially considering we have a unique relationship. However, you fellows still want to do all this to me; isn’t that just horrendous?”

“Let me just ask you one question; am I Lord Supreme Wind? Am I the target you’re ambushing?” Yun Yang was beginning to feel weary trying to persuade them to see his point of view.

Venerable Lord Frost rolled his eyes and said resentfully, “Your words are the ones which are truly empty like the wind.”

Yun Yang continued exasperatedly, “Just answer my question, am I Supreme Wind?!Tell me!”

Venerable Lord Frost looked impatient. “Of course you’re not Supreme Wind, or else how could you have been allowed to stay alive this long? I would have killed you long ago!”
